Another new discovery at Playtime was the Spanish brand, Motoreta. Started by two architects mums, the brand is all about design, interesting shapes, and innovative styles. And everything is designed and made locally in Andalusia, Spain. We loved the beautiful colours, fabrics and shapes of their AW14 collection.

Angulus is a luxury Danish shoe brand I have become familiar with in the past few years. I've spotted the brand at some of my favourite children's shops in London -- Hop Like A Bunny, Notsobig and Kidsen -- but I've never bought a pair of the shoes... until recently. I got Ivy a pair ...

I am a high street fashion chick at heart and not a lot of things make me as happy as a high street bargain (have you seen the HM Isabel Marant collection?). This is why I am always happy when a high street label starts doing kids clothes. Not many have done it as well ...

I have had these handmade costumes bookmarked for a while and when Florence said she wanted to be Peter Rabbit for World Book Day I was thrilled. Now I had the excuse I needed to order from Animalesque and when her costume arrived both Florence and I were so pleased with it. Animalesque is a London-based company ...

This is such a simple idea that I am almost a bit embarrassed to write a post about it, but I was so chuffed with my discovery about how to make my girls some shorts that I am going to share anyway. My children, like everybody's children, grow way too quickly, and at the beginning of this ...

We're having a little heatwave here in Amsterdam and we're enjoying every minute of it. The BBQ has been on every evening, we've been having loads of picnics in the park, the children even organised a full on pool party in our back yard! Isn't everything just so much easier when the weather is so ...

Let's talk about tutus, shall we? Santa Claus brought new tutus for the girls this year and now it's an all-consuming topic in our house these days. Marlow nearly had a meltdown a few days ago when I explained that she could not wear her sparkly new tutu out into the muddy garden! She has hardly ...

I met Fay from Chapter 2 at the ShopUp last December. She told me all about her new collection of handmade shoes and belts, and so it was lovely see her products in the flesh at Playtime last weekend. The shoes are beautiful and also quite playful and fun in their colours. Chapter 2 was ...

Tracking down nice-looking swimwear for boys is surprisingly more difficult than you would think! Especially rash tops -- they always seem to have some crazy text or logos and end up clashing with the swim trunks my boys wear. Which is why I was excited when Tom & Teddy announced their new collection of simple rash tops (without any text!) to ...

I love dungarees on little children! They just look so sweet in them, trotting around with their little bellies sticking out in that bubbly outfit. Plus -- I like the convenience. They don't sag and one can get a lot of wear out of them thanks to the adjustable shoulder straps. OK, after potty training ...

Esther and I have just returned from a busy (and fun!) work trip to NYC. I always feel a little bit guilty calling it a 'work weekend' when we manage to enjoy it so much, but we did squeeze in some good meetings and spent an eventful day at Playtime NY. I was really reminded ...

Autumn is definitely upon us here in Amsterdam, so it was about time to get new shoes for my kids! And I succeeded very well at the new Dutch children's shoe brand De Vries. Lilian, the designer and owner behind the brand, came up with one of the most clever (and cool!) concepts I've heard ...

I am so very excited to write this post. It’s a subject pretty close to my heart. Let me tell you why… My daughter Tila has worn eyeglasses since she was one year old, and the second she received her first prescription I promised myself I'd find her the coolest pair of glasses for kids, ...
